Been with my wife for 25 years Found out a week and a half ago she’s leaving me on my birthday next week. So she can be closer to the bars to pick up guys like all if divorced friends. Went thru the roller coaster of emotions for about week. But now I can’t wait for her to go. It’s like the 20 tonne boat anchor I’ve been dragging for 25 years has just broke its chain around neck. And I feel lighter and younger already. 45 yrs old next week and haven’t looked forward to birthday this much since I was kid. Freedom and self determination awaits

Right on brother. One final action if you want to remove your bitterness and be free, say to her face, 'sorry for hating you' and mean it (for she knows no better), then say nothing else about it and don't look back, she has nothing left to give. p.s. the reason she is choosing your birthday is to hijack your future ones with pain, as Karyn says, women can leave emotional hooks. Go away for a few days with your friends over your birthday climbing a mountain and golf or something while she leaves and if she's still there when you get back, help her follow through with her choice as she may try to turn it around but it's all meaningless games.

I feel for you. Take care of yourself. You are to be going through a lot of different emotions. I went through this too after a 10 year marriage came to an end. Divorce is a business transaction. The end of a marriage and splitting up assets. Do not give away prized assets just to get the divorce done. Be smart. Be careful who you share your info and feelings to.

Apparently when my wife cheated it was all my fault. Apparently, I was such a bad husband she even left our daughters and our home. Apparently, her married narcissist coworker love bombing her and professing his love for her wasn't a factor in her decision to abandon her family. Apparently despite him dumping her 1 month later, it was all my fault. She might be right. I was working so much overtime to keep her and our daughters comfortable i must have neglected her.

Sorry to read this story. But... reality check, it seems you did neglect her by working overtime. I know as men we want/need to contribute and provide a home and security for our family, but in that was there time for you and her? Getaways? Vacations? I hear plenty of married people, on both sides, who kind of give up after they're married because they think the "job" is done. The job of courting them that leads to marriage and family, but the reality is the job is not done. If anything, more is needed to keep that fire going. And I know she has mentioned plenty of times in previous videos. We all play a part whether we like it or not. Whether we accept it or not.

Funny how quick people are to judge for emotional cheating. If the partner is not meeting that need and it has been communicated but not received or if they are not comprehending the communication, then it seems that person did not care about their partner in the first place it seems. They are just looking to fill a void, are co-dependent, are following a social script.

Ignoring your partner's needs and still expecting a happy relationship is like ignoring your plants that need to be watered and still expecting a beautiful garden. Did not say that at all or making excuses. But it goes both ways regardless. But as men we need to stop pretending things don't affect us and speak up in a calm and respectful manner and communicate to our partner about our feelings. We're not robots. It's not fair if we or they overwork and neglect some needs and still expect a happy relationship. We need to do our part as well. Just because we're married, doesn't mean the effort or work stops.

The logic is very telling. Actual conversations and sharing pictures with a real life person that is accessible is considered innocent fulfilling of neglected needs when a wife does it. Whereas porn involving a stranger inaccessible to a husband is adultery as if he actually had sex. To be sure, both are wrong.

A married chick at my church texted me outta the blue wanting an emotional connection with me. I told my wife about it immediately and I even told the other woman's brother about it. My wife wasn't mad or anything and told me she trusts me more than anyone in this way. But the sad part is that I actually wanted that connection. Not with the other woman, but with my wife. I sat there thinking to myself "the thing that I want is coming to me from other married women, but not my wife and it probably never will". And even after I told her about this, it's like she didn't really care much. I cared more than she did. I was actually angry and concerned, but she wasn't. And she didn't understand what she had to lose.

If you are being gaslighted, don't pay attention. Just go do what you have to do. You don't have to argue or fight with anyone. Carry out what you have to do. In many cases, if someone wants to manipulate you, I believe you will need to care. I'm not telling you to automatically break up with your wife but stop caring so much about her bad ways. Why? With some narcissistic women, the more you care, the more bad they behave. This is why I am saying, behave as though you don't care. Don't show emotion when they behave badly. I don't exactly know how the law works in this instance, but if you know you will be ruined in a divorce, you might want to start selling things now.

I think we should also look at the bigger picture. The significant increase in divorce rates and falling marriages can be attributed to the secular progressive movement, which began in the 1960s and persists today. This movement, characterized by those seeking to profit from spreading divisive messages, openly opposes traditional values, particularly those expressed by Christianity. The extent of this is truly shocking. Entertainment and media play a pivotal role in their tactics. They use it to undermine family values and traditions while promoting non-conforming lifestyles and divisiveness. The shocking part is that they themselves do NOT agree with what they preach. The only reason is that they don’t see money in the teachings of Jesus which are all about unity and love. So basically we have been played. And most people don’t even realize it. Every woman and every man should understand the above. Jesus and his teachings should be the one and only foundation to rely upon these days. All the rest is propaganda and not for our own good.
